<!--Notes:
Key to entities used below:
&#x5d0; ... &#x5d5; - The first six Hebrew letters (strongly RTL).
&#x202d; - The LRO (left-to-right-override) formatting character.
&#x202c; - The PDF (pop directional formatting) formatting character; closes LRO.
The punctuation is moved around in the source to make it easier to do visual comparisons when the test is run.
